Crew
Crew systems give Windrose its pirate identity, from rescued helpers to shipboard roles and shanties.

- Role
- Progression and flavor
- Best use
- Ship and base support
Crew is one of the systems that makes Windrose feel like a pirate survival game instead of a generic island sandbox. Crew members can support the fantasy of building a ship, a base, and a pirate operation.
What Crew Adds
Crew ties into voyages, ship flavor, and progression. Even when a crew member is not a raw stat upgrade, the ship feels more alive with people aboard.
How To Think About Crew
Recruit and rescue with roles in mind: ship support, base work, trade, and progression support are all more useful than collecting NPCs randomly.
